Most bang for your buck at WDW?

Another thing I remembered from past trips. OKW is underrated. Yes, its not as convenient to the parks, but it really isn't that bad, and you get SO much room space. Renting a DVC 1 bedroom villa gets you fantastic accommodations for the money. Huge balconies too and a really chill laid-back atmosphere. It was really relaxing to wake up and hang out on the deck in the morning as well as relax in the afternoons and evenings.

In fact, renting points in general is a good idea, particularly with middle men to make the experience easy and stress free. Renting a studio gives you a deluxe room for the price of a moderate. If you get a 1 bedroom and don't mind cooking you can save some money that way.

Yes and the BEST deal of my " Disney Life" so far has been buying DVC points on the " second hand " market. I bought back when you still got the blue card, but honestly it is still a good deal. I bought 160 points at SS in 2013 and so far have stayed at AKL, OKW, BLT, GFV, Poly, & BCV. With a little bit of flexibility I have gotten what I wanted each trip.

and last bang for our buck will be the MNSSHP. Last time we went was 2010, and that was a MUST DO for me.... rides are walk on and seeing the Headless Horseman is just priceless !!

MNSSHP has gone significantly downhill IMO. We also went in 2010, and it was awesome. Then in 2013 it was a bit more crowded, 2014 even more crowded, and 2017 there were so many people there it was like a regular park day. Definitely do not expect any rides to be walk ons.

To me the tours age a great value. Every single one I've taken has easily been worth as much or more than what I paid for it.

I also enjoy all the transportation options the WDW offers, and almost all are free. It's so pleasant to be able to go almost anywhere on property without having to drive, and do it in air-conditioned comfort.

But the last and most important thing isn't something you directly purchase - the wonderful interactions with the cast members. The fact that I've enjoyed literally dozens on trips there over more than two decades truly speaks volumes about the dedication and professionalism that we enjoy as part of our experiences there. I can think of many wonderful interactions with them, and if there were a few that didn't live up to their standards they weren't memorable enough for me to recount. Virtually no bad memories and MANY wonderful ones! To the Cast Members reading this - Thank You !!!
